Russian Version of a Turkey Shoot

Saker version of the story

"The Defense Ministry called the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces during the failed offensive of Ukraine near Kherson

Ukrainian troops attempted an offensive in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions, as a result, the AFU units suffered heavy losses, the Russian Defense Ministry told reporters.

“Today, during the day, on the direct instructions of Zelensky, Ukrainian troops attempted an offensive in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions in three directions. As a result of the active defense of the grouping of Russian troops, the AFU units suffered heavy losses,” TASS reports.

The ministry added that “the enemy’s losses in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen, another attempt at offensive actions of the enemy failed miserably.”

According to the Defense Ministry, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed 26 Ukrainian tanks, 23 infantry fighting vehicles, nine other armored combat vehicles, shot down two Su-25 attack aircraft.

Earlier on Monday, Deputy head of the administration of the Kherson region Kirill Stremousov said: the AFU has been shelling several settlements of the Kherson region since Sunday evening. Schools, social infrastructure were destroyed, residential buildings were damaged, the official confirmed. But there is no question of any APU offensive on Kherson, statements in the Ukrainian media – “this is some kind of illusion, a movie,” Stremousov pointed out....."

Ukies apparently tried to charge into fortified positions...

It is in fact a shame that we have to look for real news in Russian media since we don’t have anything resembling an honest press of our own....

has the USMCR person posted anything about how the Ukrainians are drinking from the skulls of the Russian soldiers they just slaughtered?

No.

Okay, I’m sure something like that is on the way.

That is only a problem for people in Russia. You can get all kinds of useful information from Telegram and Twitter accounts in Ukraine. And those from Russian soldiers, not the Russian government propaganda teams.

Satellite data also tells a lot about what is happening.

This offense may drag out a little longer than a day or two. Probably best to wait and see what becomes of it.

btw: Is there a line on this war in Vegas? What are the props?

Only if Russia is reporting a downturn, defeat or casualties might I believe them. Same for Ukraine. I haven't believed much from either source in quite a while.

The Ukies are definitely winning The Narrative War.

Too bad that doesn't involve real stuff on the ground.

Russia: Latest Ukrainian offensive is smashed by powerful Russian forces.
Ukraine: Latest Ukrainian offensive makes great progress as demoralized Russians run away.

Lies and propaganda on both sides. But there’s one thing that cannot be disputed. The Russians crossed into Ukraine, and not the other way around. That makes Putin a war criminal.

Of course, your mileage may vary. You might think Putin is a great guy because he hates globalists, or whatever.

Well, it's not much different from what we hear from Biden and democrats regarding how 'the MAGA republicans' are a danger to democracy and the country and are totally evil.

If nobody can believe what comes out of the Russian press and spokespeople, why do we believe anything that comes out of the left-wing press and politicians?

Did I digress from the topic? Perhaps yes, but people need to learn about where the lies are coming from.

If Russia can sell their lies to the world, then, Biden and democrats are doing likewise.

This war will last 20 years. There simply had to be a replacement for Afghanistan. Far to many hungry defense contractors and K Street lobbyists are depending on it.
